Captain Thunderbolt's Rock, Historical granite rock formation near Uralla, Australia.

Captain Thunderbolt's Rock is a granite formation positioned along the New England Highway, composed of multiple natural stone blocks that rise distinctly from the surrounding landscape. The structure features various levels and crevices that create its distinctive profile.

On 27 October 1863, Fred Ward and Fred Britten waited at Split Rock to ambush the mail, but a police escort surprised them; in the shootout Ward was shot through the back of the left knee and escaped through Church Gully. Seven years later, on 25 May 1870, Thunderbolt robbed the Blanchs at the same rock before accompanying them to their inn. The site was later renamed Thunderbolt's Rock.

The name changed from Split Rock to Thunderbolt's Rock at an unknown date, reflecting the local community's identification of the site with the bushranger. It is one of the Captain Thunderbolt Sites, a group that also includes Blanch's Royal Oak Inn, his death site and his grave, all listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 2012.

The rock sits beside the New England Highway about 7 km south of Uralla, with a small carpark and a picnic table behind the rocks. The granite is uneven and the site was heavily covered with graffiti when assessed in 2012, so watch your footing and expect marked surfaces.

The rocks retain visible traces believed to connect with Captain Thunderbolt's era, including spots where he reportedly secured his horses. These physical reminders transform the site into a tangible link with the past rather than just a historical reference.
